The Man's Decree novel Chapter 2815

Chapter 2815 Crucible

“You're just bragging. Let's see how you fail when you're crafting pills. I'll be waiting to see you blow something up. Crafting a Fifth Level Top Tier pill is dangerous. If your mental energy isn't enough to control the spiritual fire, it can explode. Then you'll be blown up, and I'd love to see how you'll brag then.”

Even though Jared had passed the first stage, Pearl still looked down on him.

Jared only smiled faintly and didn't respond.

He exuded unwavering confidence. With a sufficient supply of herbs, he believed he could concoct pills of an even higher level than Fifth Level Top Tier.

For him, the process of alchemy itself wasn't challenging; the real difficulty lay in obtaining the rare herbs needed for crafting these Top Tier pills.

The examiner led Jared to an alchemy room, and Pearl followed along.

Due to Pearl's status, the examiner didn't stop her. After all, Jared couldn't cheat during the crafting. The outcome was entirely dependent on his skill.

Inside the room, there were several pill cauldrons of different shapes and sizes.

“For fairness' sake, you can't use your own pill cauldron during the assessment. We provide pill cauldrons here, and you can choose the one you're familiar with. However, there's also a time limit. You must craft the pill within the specified time. While failure is allowed within the time limit, if you can't craft the correct pill in time, you'll fail the assessment. As Fifth Level Top Tier pills are high-level pills and require a significant amount of time to craft, the assessment only requires you to produce a semi-finished product,” the examiner explained the assessment rules to Jared.

Crafting a Fifth Level Top Tier pill would usually take several days for a Fifth Level Top Tier alchemist.

Since the assessment couldn't last for days, a semi-finished product would suffice for passing the assessment.

“Sir, can I not use the pill cauldrons here? I'm not used to them...” Jared asked the examiner.

“Didn't I mention this? You can't use your own pill cauldron. It wouldn't be fair if someone used a specialized cauldron for crafting pills. The result wouldn't accurately reflect their actual alchemical skills,” the examiner said.
